And keep in mind that NG is just CH4, methane, which can easily be made with heat, a catalyst, water, and coal.

Opens up lots of opportunities for the thorium-based fuel cycle, or pebble bed reactor, USA coal, and NGL's etc.

All we need to do is convince Chu that CO2 is not bad, and get him to admit it to Obama. The politics might be the hard part.

By the way, I am NOT HAPPY with what I have heard about earthquakes set off by fracturing shale beds to get at SBM (shale bed methane.) This alone could put the kibosh on NG if all we go by is sound bytes.
